Re: T-Bar Seal
doubt its the seals leaking. its normally water getting in underneath the seals that leaks in, or past the windscreen. in those cases, changing the seals with make zero difference. so I'd have a look at the guide on here for removing and resealing the "brackets" underneath the seals that the seals attach to, because in most cases this will fix the worst of the leaks. if the leaks are at the top of the windscreen then just remove the trim and fill the gap with silicone, worked perfectly for mine!

Thanks for that Jim.
Have already been into the top. Have carefully studied Jinxys article re removing & re-sealing etcMain problem in my case is rust in the top rail and seemingly the windscreen pillar.
Water is running down inside the A-post & dripping down into the footwellAnd as a result of the rust I now have two big cracks iin my windscreen
